DNC Chairman Howard Dean is hardly alone in calling Pennsylvania a “must win” state for Barack Obama. But it’s a genuine possibility that he won’t. Chris Matthews, that paradigm of journalistic objectivity, confessed to his “worry” that Obama may not be able to carry either Ohio or Pennsylvania.
Hillary Clinton carried Pennsylvania over Obama by 10 [...]

In Lebanon, they openly sided with Hizbullah. In nation after nation from Bosnia , the Congo and Cambodia, U.N. employees facilitated prostitution and [...]

I have been shocked and dismayed by what I have been reading in the New York Times in regards to the Presidential campaign. The only thing I can think to say in defense of the Times is that they are not alone in the horrible deterioration of journalistic standards. I know now if I am [...]

I am a conservative with a liberal streak. Now that Wall Street is getting a helping hand, the plight of working people who struggle in today’s economy evokes my sympathy.
When Palin remarked about the contrast between a governor and a community organiser, it was a legitimate point. Many Presidents started off as governors. Roosevelt, Reagan [...]

What’s the biggest problem today in our financial market? What caused this disaster? Was it mismanagement? Was it lack of regulations? Was it the “other” political party?
Let me just state it for the record: the problem was greed, pure and simple.
We can see a level of shocking greed in our elite business and investment circles [...]

Whether Franklin Raines is an Obama adviser or not is a rather entertaining question. He sure seemed to be one until not very long ago:
Raines was an Obama adviser on July 16, when The Washington Post reported:

From a McCain Democrat’s Journal, September 22, 2008
